A passenger train strikes a truck at a rail crossing in Gdansk, Poland, after the truck appears to become stuck between the crossing barriers. The impact smashes the truck, according to reporting on the incident.
Accounts describe an orange HGV (heavy goods vehicle) attempting to cross the tracks when it ends up blocked. The collision occurs as the train approaches the crossing, leading to the truck being destroyed. Coverage focuses on the sequence leading to the crash—particularly the moment the truck is caught between the barriers—though details about casualties, train speed, and any subsequent investigations are not provided in the excerpts available here.
The common thread across the reports is that the incident results from the truck being caught on the crossing, prompting the train collision. Both outlets identify the location as Gdansk and describe the truck’s appearance and position at the crossing.
